Decarbonisation Scan: The first step towards CO₂ reduction

The Decarbonisation Scan aims to identify opportunities for energy savings, process improvements and the exploration of sustainable energy sources such as hydrogen.

An Decarbonisation Scan helps businesses identify inefficient energy use and provides solutions to switch to more sustainable and cost-effective energy sources, leading to reduced operational costs.

The Decarbonisation Scan has a positive environmental impact by helping companies reduce CO₂ emissions. This is achieved by optimizing energy processes and advising on sustainable energy sources, contributing to climate goals.

The Decarbonisation Scan offers detailed insights into energy consumption for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), leading to tailored advice for energy efficiency and sustainability. This can result in significant cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint.

Business energy advice, following an Decarbonisation Scan, includes strategic recommendations for energy savings, the implementation of sustainable energy solutions and modifications to gas-powered equipment.

Companies can request an Decarbonisation Scan by contacting Kiwa. Our experts will perform a detailed analysis of energy sources and process improvements.

The energy transition is the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources to reduce CO₂ emissions and promote sustainability. The built environment contributes by improving energy efficiency, enabling local energy production (e.g., solar panels) and participating in Smart Energy Hubs for integrated energy solutions.

The Netherlands aims for a 49% CO₂ reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. An energy transition model helps companies achieve these goals by providing a structured approach to adopting sustainable energy with a focus on industry needs and decarbonization.

Businesses advance the energy transition by decarbonizing processes and investing in renewable energy. Kiwa supports them through services like the Decarbonisation Scan, offering advice on energy efficiency, CO₂ reduction and integrating renewable energy sources like hydrogen.

Examples include implementing solar panels, wind turbines, hydrogen as a fuel in transportation and industry and heat pumps in the built environment.

Energy transition costs include investments in new technologies, adapting existing infrastructure and operational changes. Over time, these investments lead to savings by reducing energy consumption and CO₂ costs.

Companies can combine renewable energy storage technologies like battery systems and hydrogen storage with a Smart Energy Hub. This optimizes energy balance, providing a stable energy supply, lower costs and a smoother energy transition.

To achieve climate neutrality, companies can reduce CO₂ emissions through energy efficiency, use renewable energy sources and offset unavoidable emissions with green energy certificates.

An energy-neutral company generates or purchases as much renewable energy as it consumes. Businesses can start by investing in renewable energy production, such as solar panels or wind turbines, and by participating in initiatives like Smart Energy Hubs. Kiwa's Decarbonisation Scan provides insights into opportunities for green energy production.
